About the AirTAC MGD20
The AirTAC MGD20 is a double-rod, double-acting stainless-steel mini cylinder with a 20 mm bore and an 8 mm piston rod. The rod runs through both end covers, so push and pull are equal: 132 N at 0.5 MPa and 185 N at 0.7 MPa. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All MGD20 versions share 1/8" air ports, an M8×1.25 rod thread and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 800 mm/s. This page lists 25 stock order codes with strokes from 25 to 450 mm; the catalog maximum stroke is 300 mm, and the longer codes are non-standard strokes we already supply.

Theoretical output force (Ø20 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 132 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 185 N | 185 N |
Both directions act on the bore area minus the Ø8 mm rod area, because the rod passes through both end covers. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the MGD20 Is Used
Small pushers and stoppers
About 132 N at 0.5 MPa suits light pushers, stoppers, gates and ejectors.
Packaging and assembly
Compact strokes for feeders, diverters and assembly stations.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right MGD20 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the mounting. Basic (no code) uses the cylinder's own mounting holes. Foot and flange mountings hold the cylinder rigid for straight-line loads; clevis and trunnion mountings let it pivot when the load moves in an arc.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors.
AirTAC MGD20 FAQ
No. Every MGD20 gives about 132 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
1/8" ports, PT thread as standard.
Basic mounting only. Pick a pivoting cover or bracket when the load moves in an arc, a rigid one for straight-line loads.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single MGD20. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
